I would strongly suggest to print to .r only with -Msuffix.

Also, the whole thing seems half-baked to me, as it only deals with
alternative encodings using the 'D' bit. Using an .a suffix and handling
all cases would come closer (the question is whether there's any insn
that can be encoded in more than two ways).
